Coil pigtail extension?

[phatnomad]

I am needing a short 5 pin male to 5 pin female connector. 3” or 4 “ long. It is a little difficult changing coils on my nokta fors core with the dust cover on it. If I had a short extension I could leave it connected to the detector and have the connection 3 or 4 inches out for simple coil changes. Does anyone know where I could get one or parts (5 pin female connector, 5 pin male connector and 5 wire cable) to make my own. Thanks for the help.

Not familiar with this machine but from the pictures I've seen, it uses 5 pin microphone connectors like many other companies use for coils.
The harder thing to find may be the wire or cable. Some use multi coaxial cabling or wires with twisted pairs.

What may be best is to try and find someone with a bad coil and offer to buy the coil cable for parts to make your extension cable.

This way you will have the proper wire, know the pinout, have the factory connector on the machine end.

Just cut it to length and add a connector for the coil end.

I have made extension cables for Sovereigns before, for a hip mount set up.
The connector on the fors core looks the same, have to double check.

But, it was a coiled extension cord.
